Abstract

The disconnection protecting device (12) for an electrical connector prevents or makes difficult manipulation of the electrical connector (11) to by-pass an automatic stopping device of a motor vehicle. The disconnection protecting device (12) includes a lock member (32) which can at least indirectly lock the assembled electrical connector (11) preventing its disassembly. The lock member (32) can be a retaining member (18) at least partially covering the electrical connector (11) or a locking element (33) inserted directly in the electrical connector (11) in the form of a plug lock or clip lock.
